Records of the King of Xin'an County

At nightfall, Princess Changning's Yandi car finally drove into the Princess Mansion slowly, and stopped in front of the moon cave gate in the inner courtyard.Li Jing, who rode his horse to escort Yan Zhai's chariot, did not get off his horse. Seeing the maidservants helping Princess Changning and County Mistress Xin'an get out of the chariot, she raised her eyebrows and said, "It's still early, I'll just go back to Yong'an County Prince's Mansion to rest. Grandfather promised to vacate a courtyard for me, or it would be okay to squeeze in with Shiliu Lang."

"Just go to the next door to rest, so why does Cousin Jing Xing look far away?" Princess Changning frowned, jokingly said, "Could it be that you and elder brother had an affair? Didn't you have a good rest last night?"

The head of Xin'an County also continued: "Yong'an County has a large population, and it is not easy for the grandfather of the Laofan clan to order someone to tidy up a courtyard. If it is a joke, the fifth brother should apologize to the grandfather of the clan tomorrow. What's more, it is so bad today. It's late, and it's almost curfew from the east to the west, why should the five brothers disturb the peace of their family? It's better not to think too much, just go to the next door to rest. Besides, brother Jueqing is always there."

"...Because my elder brother treats us brothers as usual, I don't want to disturb him at will! He is newly married now, if I can't help it, I will always look for him and disturb him and sister-in-law Isn't it a sin to get along with each other?" Li Jing argued, "Cousin Jueqing can enjoy himself, but I can't... Over the years, I have saved a lot of things to say to brother."

Princess Changning was speechless for a moment, sighed and said, "Since you want to talk to brother, then say yes! Brothers, what are you doing so awkwardly?! I never thought that after so many years, you would actually You've become the kind of person who thinks too much when you shouldn't. If you let brother know, you'll think you're born with him!"

The county magistrate of Xin'an covered his lips and said with a smile: "Fifth brother has finally learned to be considerate of others, which is a good thing. However, fifth brother still needs to understand carefully when it should be like this and when it shouldn't be like this. Go, maybe your cousin is waiting for you and wants to talk with you at night by candlelight. You have saved a lot of things to tell him, so why isn’t he like this? The current situation in Beijing and all kinds of things also need to be carefully discussed by cousin It’s better to break up with you.”

Li Jing hesitated for a moment, turned around and pulled his horse to go, and suddenly remembered that when the court came down this morning, the prince offered him to go to the Wang family after sunset: "Wait, don't be busy looking for brother, Wang Zhiyuan met me in the morning, I almost forgot all about it. I don’t know if he is still waiting for me now, and he has something important to tell me. Yue Niang, do you remember where the Wang family lives? It’s still in Yankang Fang?”

"How do you know that the Wang family doesn't live in Yankang Fang now?"

"Isn't this obvious? Since my brother has already moved here, it is impossible for their family to be too far away. If it weren't for the residences in Yongxing Square are all high-ranking officials and nobles, there should be no suitable residences, Wang Zhiyuan would be I will try my best to move in. If the two of them are really separated and live in one east and one west, maybe I will feel strange."

"..." Is this the so-called intuition?Princess Changning glanced aside with a half-smile: "You don't need to ask me, just ask him."

The two brothers and sisters were stunned for a moment, and followed her gaze - they saw Wang Zixian standing quietly behind them, he didn't know when he came, let alone where he came from, quietly, his expression changed. Calm and calm as usual.County Lord Xin'an settled down and looked at him thoughtfully; while Li Jing showed a very strange expression, hesitant to speak.

"Seeing that the king is not here, I can only search based on experience, and I have never failed. Otherwise, I would have to rush to Yong'an County Prince's Mansion to disturb the County King's rest." Wang Zixian said indifferently, and turned to look at Princess Changning, "Can I borrow it from your lord? Xuan Qi should still be waiting for us."

"It's just right, I also want to take Huanniang and sister to see my brother and sister-in-law." Princess Changning said, "All come with me."

So, Li Jing watched Prince Xian enter Princess Changning's dormitory familiarly, with a calm expression, as if he was not at all curious about the decorations in the princess' dormitory - even he couldn't help looking more After a few glances at the bows and arrows hanging on the wall, he was able to keep his eyes straight—suspicious!It's so suspicious! !

Then, Princess Changning turned some mechanism, and the cabinet burst open, revealing a dark secret passage.She held a lantern herself, and walked slowly ahead with County Mistress Xin'an on her arm.Li Hui followed closely behind the prince's body, and saw him fiddle with it casually, and the cabinet outside was closed immediately.

"..." After walking for a few steps, the Tianshui County King looked back and forth frequently, his expression ever-changing, and it was extremely exciting.Seeing that the person involved was still calm and had no intention of explaining or covering up, he finally couldn't help it, and reluctantly found a topic to insinuate: "You seem to be familiar with this secret passage?"

Wang Zixian glanced at him inscrutablely: "Your Majesty, you can speak up if you have something to say. This kind of tactful temptation is not suitable for Your Majesty." Tsk, from the change of someone's expression just now, one can guess that he must be thinking wrong.Just let him lie on one side, as a reward for making him wait at home for an hour or two.

"..." The Tianshui County King's heart suddenly became turbulent: He also knew it was not suitable!But can this kind of words be asked so directly? !If the other party refuses to admit it after asking, how should he react?Do it directly, and beat him so that he can answer honestly? !Hehe, this Wang Buque's force value is not weak, so it's uncertain who will win and who will win!Or sue brother and let brother deal with it?Or maybe even Brother knew about this matter? !

The king of Tianshui County was extremely entangled, he hesitated for a while, Fang quietly looked at the two younger sisters who were chatting and laughing not far away, and said softly: "Why do you and Yue Niang go out in private? If someone finds out, it's up to you Your reputation is also bad. Could it be that you have all forgotten about the rumors back then? Since you are unmarried and she has already divorced, you might as well tell your uncle and aunt. After becoming a son-in-law, wouldn’t it be better to be upright? Yueniang is married Mr. Ruyi, you have a bright future ahead..."

"Your Majesty is thinking too much." Wang Zixian interrupted him, still calm, "I just borrowed your lord's secret passage. Your Majesty should be surprised because the secret passage in your lord's bedroom can lead directly to Xuanqi's mansion. Stop? All other things are trivial, not worth mentioning at all."

"The secret way is a trivial matter. It is not trivial for you to borrow the secret way so calmly! Who knows how many times you have borrowed the secret way? Even the mechanism inside is clear!!" Prince Tianshui didn't believe his words at all, "If it were me, I would also build ten or eight secret roads, so that I could avoid other people and my elder brother anytime and anywhere. I heard that my future county palace will be built on the other side of the princess mansion, so I have to build a few more. Secret way. If you go to find brother in the future, you will leave from my county prince's mansion and never borrow the secret way from the princess mansion again, will you agree?"

"Occasionally, the king should be sympathetic when he is in a hurry."

"...It's clearly a fake public benefit!!"

"Your Majesty, doubting without any evidence is no different from those villains who spread rumors back then? Your lord's reputation is important, and your Majesty should be more cautious in his words."

"I treat you as a friend, so I will speak out with you. Otherwise, based on what you are doing at the moment, as a brother, it is not too much to whip you directly!!"

Hearing the casual teasing and energetic "counterattack" of the two people behind, County Lord Xin'an couldn't help but secretly looked at his cousin beside him, with a similar look of hesitation.Princess Changning smiled, pretending not to notice her doubts, leading her to turn left and right, and finally walked into a secret room.

In the secret room, Li Huizheng looked down at the news from the trilogy.Du Jialan sat not far from him, chanting Taoist scriptures silently with his eyes closed.After Princess Changning called out her elder brother, she took County Lord Xin'an to sit beside Du Jialan, and introduced the two of them affectionately: "I hit it off with my sister-in-law in the early years, and finally we can see each other often. Now it's done As a family, sister Huanniang doesn't need to see her sister-in-law, she just treats her as her own sister."

County Lord Xin'an heard the description of "my own sister", and couldn't help feeling a little thoughtful, with a smile still on his face: "I heard that sister-in-law, like me, is familiar with Taoist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures. Sister-in-law asks for advice, and I hope that sister-in-law will not dislike me for being dull."

Du Jialan also smiled slightly: "I am very familiar with the nunnery and the female crown temple in Beijing. There is even a family temple built in the county prince's mansion, which enshrines Sanqing and Laojun. If Huanniang doesn't dislike it, we can go together Let’s go, how about going to those nunneries and Nvguan temples, and praying for the family?”

The three of them were in harmony, while Li Jing glared at the prince, and couldn't help but said: "Brother, you have to take a good look at Wang Buque, otherwise, with his unscrupulous temperament, I don't know if I will provoke you What disaster is coming. By the way, when will my county palace be built? Can it be completed within half a year? I also want to move in as soon as possible, and be a neighbor with Brother Yue Niang."

Li Hui raised his eyebrows, and looked at the slightly smiling Wang Zixian: "I am not worried about Zixian at all, the only thing I am worried about is you. For example, yesterday, you didn't know the character of your grandfather, so you rashly Send yourself out. If you are so casual with other clan and county kings in the future, I will not allow it."

"The grandfather of the clan is a bold person at first glance." Li Jing replied, "And I have admired him for a long time, and I have long wanted to learn how to use soldiers from him. When he leaves Beijing this time, I also want to follow him Let's go to Shazhou Town to defend against the enemy together and accumulate battlefield experience. Uncle is currently in short supply of generals, so he should agree."

Li Hui was startled: "Is this your plan all along?"

"That's right. After I went to Guangzhou, I thought about it in private for a long time." Li Jing said frankly, "I only thought about joining the martial arts before, but I never thought about how to do it. Should I be the general of the sixteen guards in Beijing, or I went to other states to be the governor. Later, when I thought about the several clan and county kings in the frontier, I felt that "expelling the Xiongnu and expelling the barbarians" was my true wish. After my grandfather and brother knew about it, they also agreed with me. I also persuaded I hired Du Shishilang, let him be my staff, and go with me."

"...Jing Xing." Li Hui couldn't help being deeply touched, his eyes softened a lot, "You really have grown up."

The king of Tianshui County chuckled, his face changed again, and he replied with a snort: "Brother, what do you mean? I am not a child, I have grown up long ago." He did not want to admit that he was really outspoken earlier. It's so simple that it's too useless.
